I just received the "Salt of the Earth" Christian calendar, which organizes the year around the traditional Christian seasons (Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, Easter, Pentecost, Post-Pentecost). It will enrich my appreciation of "sacred time" in the year ahead....

Pentecost 24 – November 15h, 2009 Mark 13:1-13 “Seeing the Signs” Hollywood is at it again. There's a new movie called 2012, and it taps into the apocalyptic fears of end-of-the-world disaster. Maybe you've seen the previews: explosions, earthquakes, buildings collapsing and people narrowly escaping the destruction. Much of the hype surrounding such events comes from what the Bible...

In short, we are into the final weeks of the liturgical year, anticipating, in two weeks time, the first Sunday of Advent on November 29th -- or, technically, with First Sunday Vespers on Saturday evening, November 28th....

This one gets my vote for best weekend read. It's not something you would normally find on Drudge, and in fact, I didn't. It's from the hard working news junkies and reconnoiter artists at Pajamasmedia and the piece is titled, Jesus the Capitalist . Many on the left often "scripture shop" to argue their opinion that Christ and the first Christians practiced socialism. Nay, nay collectivist...

I Do Believe St. Paul's Letter To The Philippians Pretty Much Nails It Philippians 3:19 to be specific Yes, I actually pay attention to the Epistle and Gospel readings at Mass. In fact, here's some of the Epistle from the Twenty-Third Sunday after Pentecost; Whose end is destruction; whose God is their belly; and whose glory is in their shame ; who mind earthly things. I had a funny feeling that particular...

Pentecost 23 – November 8th, 2009 Hebrews 9:24-28 “A Great High Priest” Some people seem to think that sin and forgiveness are just words. That they are ideas or concepts which are hopelessly outdated and irrelevant, even if they ever applied. For the unbeliever, God's law doesn't matter – each is a law unto himself. And so forgiveness doesn't matter, because sin's not a problem....
